The Protostar

The Protostar is what we consider to newly-forming star to be when it is in stages four and five. A solar-mass star typically lasts about 100,000 years as a protostar.

The video is about protostar V1647 Orionis; we derive information about it from its emission.

Protostars develop into main sequence stars with the formation of a T Tauri Star, found near molecular clouds.
